Bomb Shooter route map
Bomb Shooter starts simple, then splits into three Tier 5 jobs
Use Bomb Shooter when the defense needs explosion damage or MOAB pressure in a fixed area. Pair it with sharp, magic, or bullet damage so black-bloon immunity and camo visibility do not become hidden failure points.
Quick answer: what is Bomb Shooter for?
Bomb Shooter is a simple explosive answer for lead and grouped bloons, but it needs backup for black bloons and any camo it cannot see. Top path controls groups, middle path attacks MOAB-class bloons, and bottom path spreads cluster damage.

Upgrade routes
Bomb Shooter's three path identities
Use this as a role summary, not a patch-perfect damage table.
3-x-xReally Big Bombs
4-x-xBloon Impact5-x-xBloon CrushTop path
Bloon Crush
Grouped-bloon stuns and heavy explosive control.
- Best when
- Many bloons are entering the same choke point and need to be held in place.
- Watch out
- Stuns help control the wave, but immunities and camo still need separate answers.
- Beginner read
- Use this path to learn the difference between control and damage type coverage.
x-3-xMOAB Mauler
x-4-xMOAB Assassinx-5-xMOAB EliminatorMiddle path
MOAB Eliminator
MOAB-class burst damage, especially when timed against dangerous blimps.
- Best when
- MOABs, BFBs, or fortified blimps are the round-ending problem.
- Watch out
- It is not your cleanest answer to wide normal-bloon swarms by itself.
- Beginner read
- Buy it for blimp pressure, then keep normal cleanup nearby.
x-x-3Cluster Bombs
x-x-4Recursive Clusterx-x-5Bomb BlitzBottom path
Bomb Blitz
Clustered explosions and emergency-style cleanup for dense waves.
- Best when
- The lane is packed and you want splash damage to spread across the wave.
- Watch out
- Cluster damage can still leave property gaps if the rest of the setup is narrow.
- Beginner read
- It is readable group damage, but not a complete counter checklist.
Common uses
When Bomb Shooter makes sense
- Patch early lead damage when sharp towers bounce off leads.
- Add MOAB Mauler-style pressure before the first serious blimp rounds.
- Control dense waves at a choke with top-path stun support.
- Prepare the Bomb Shooter family for Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker planning.
Mistakes
What usually goes wrong
- Making explosions the only damage type and then leaking black bloons.
- Buying MOAB damage while normal bloons still have no reliable cleanup.
- Forgetting that Bomb Shooter still needs camo detection or decamo support.
- Using cluster paths on spread lanes where splash value is diluted.
